What We Face

Cancer is the #1 cause of disease death for children in the United States, yet only receives 4% of funding. But we can shift the tides by advocating for more research, more treatments, and more hope.

What is Rhabdomyosarcoma?

Sarcomas are cancers that develop from connective tissues in the body, such as muscles, fat, bones, the linings of joints, or blood vessels. There are many types of sarcomas. Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a cancer made up of cells that normally develop into skeletal muscles. The body has 3 main types of muscles.

Skeletal (voluntary) muscles are muscles that we control to move parts of our body.
Smooth muscle is the main type of muscle in internal organs (except for the heart). For example, smooth muscles in the stomach and intestines push food along as it is digested. We do not control this movement.
Cardiac muscle is the main muscle type in the heart.
